"I used to think the lack of news coverage of the death of people of color was negligence on the part of the media, but it's bigger than that; perhaps it's cultural, systemic. Some death and injustice is expected, not shocking or newsworthy, because it's been in the backdrop of our culture since the inception of the United States."

— Lee Sandusky, "Dust of the Desert" in Rebellious Mourning: The Collective Work of Grief
